In a metal-aqua ion, how does a water molecule bond to the metal ion?
The metal lone pair donates into an empty oxygen orbital, forming a coordinate bond.
The hydrogen atom shares an electron with the metal ion, forming a covalent bond.
The oxygen lone pair donates into an empty metal orbital, forming a coordinate bond.
The oxygen atom transfers an electron to the metal ion, forming an ionic bond.
